Hey guys! Here is the next chapter! I hope you enjoy it.

10:40A.M.,Mr. Fitz's Classroom, South Hallway

"Aria, w-why, why are you doing this?" Spencer stared down into the barrel of Aria's gun. How many bullets had been fired from this gun? How many people died at the hands of Aria Montgomery? Besides her, Ali let out a choked sob, and Spencer finally tore her eyes away from Aria.

"Ali," Spencer whispered. She crawled over to her and wrapped her arms protectively around her friend. Alison sniffled and buried her face in Spencer's neck. "Aria, please! Just say something!"

"Oh, how sweet," Mona cooed sarcastically. "Look, Ar, Spencer's offering herself up as a human shield."

"Check out what we're dealing with outside," Aria ordered. She had barely moved a muscle, and her eyes were so...dark, Spencer could have sworn they had turned black.

"Fine." Mona walked forward, stepping over Kyle's dead body, and peered through the blinds. Outside was a circus. Multiple ambulances and police cars. There was an FBI van parked next to the school's flagpole, and the parking lot and front quad of the school were flooded with people.

Mona's gaze shifted to the buildings across the street. The roofs were littered with snipers and a flood of excitement shot through her. "Man, you should see the chaos outside," she said gleefully. She turned to see Aria still had her gun trained on Alison.

"Aria!" Mona snapped. "I'm talking to you!"

Aria's eyes drifted to Mona. "I fucking heard you," she shot back. "I'm not deaf." Her gun tilted just a bit away from Alison. "And don't snap at me."

Mona groaned and stalked forward, blocking Aria's path of Spencer and Alison. "I'll do whatever the hell I want, got it?" Brown eyes burned into hazel and there was a pregnant pause.

Finally, Aria exhaled and lowered her shoulders. She loosened her grip on the gun. "I'm sorry," she said. "I'm just stressed."

Mona's expression softened and she leaned in to place a quick kiss on Aria's lips. "I'm sorry, too. Let's not let this ruin our fun."

Aria smirked. "Oh, it hasn't. Watch this." She spun on her heels and shot her gun off in the ceiling. The kids' screams mixed together with screams from down the hall, and the panicked wails outside. Her eyes swept around the room before they fell on Valerie Marshall.

"Hey, Val," Aria sneered. She crossed the room until she was in front of her and aimed her gun at the center of the poor girl's forehead. "How're ya?"

Valerie's body raked with sobs. Her makeup ran down her face, snot and tears ran down her cheeks, and she refused to look at Aria.

"Look at me," Aria ordered.

But Valerie didn't move. "No.." She spoke so softly it was almost hard to hear her.

"I SAID LOOK AT ME!" Aria snarled.

Valerie sobbed and forcer herself to meet Aria's gaze. "Please d-don't kill me."

"Okay," Aria agreed. "Convince me."

"W-what?"

"Convince me why you deserve to live, and I won't kill you," Aria repeated calmly.

Valerie swallowed. "I -"

"Stop!"

Aria whirled around. Spencer was on her feet and moving steadily toward her.

"Spencer, sit down," Aria said blandly. "What are you doing?"

Mona started to speak, but Aria held up her hand, effectively silencing her.

"Spencer, sit down," Aria repeated flatly. "Now."

"N-no," Spencer's voice cracked, but she held her ground. "W-why are you doing this? This isn't you. This...it's not the Aria I know." Her eyes were glistening with tears. "Please. Just put the gun down. Y-you can end this.."

"Oh, for fuck's sake," Mona piped up. "Aria, can I just blow her head off?"

Aria ran her tongue over her lips. Her eyes locked with Spencer's. Slowly, she raised her gun and aimed it at Spencer's chest. "Sit down."

Spencer shook her head firmly.

"Spencer..." Aria was beginning to lose her patience. "Sit. The. Fuck. Down."

Spencer choked back a sob and shook her head. "N-not until you give me the gun."

"Please let me blow her fucking brains out!" Mona pleaded, almost desperately.

"No," Aira spat through gritted teeth. "We agreed. Spencer is mine."

Mona huffed, but didn't say anything else.

"Aria," Ali simpered. Her voice was hoarse from crying. "Y-you don't want to do this.."

"Oh," Aria grinned placidly, "but I do."

There was a tense moment of silence, and then...

BANG!

Oh, shit. What did you guys think? Did Aria really shoot Spencer? Did Mona end up shooting her? Stay tuned to find out!
